Why did the topic change so suddenly? We were talking about how we got along just a moment ago, and then you suddenly threw a curveball at me. Is your next question... Since you like me, why can't you accept my flaws? These are the kind of disgusting, despicable things you say, relying on your favoritism to act with impunity.

Even though I like your narcissistic side, it's still hard for me to accept!

Just then, the waiter brought coffee and milk tea to the table, interrupting my thoughts.

Lin Mushi snapped out of her reverie and realized she had been overthinking things. She picked up her teacup, took a sip of milk tea, and said softly, "Probably, probably... I like it."

Perhaps it was because she was drinking milk tea that her voice became very charming, sweet, soft, and somewhat indistinct, but still adorable.

She looked up and, before Gu Yuqiu could speak, asked, "Why did you ask me that question?"

"Now that we've talked it out, there's no need to hold back anymore."

Gu Yuqiu gave his reasons, then changed the subject, saying, "Then I must tell you something."

Lin Mushi mimicked her tone and gave a calm "hmm".

The next second, as those words fell, all the calm vanished.

"I like you too, but there are many other people I like, and you are just one of them. You can think of this liking as an interest or hobby?"

"...Are you out of your mind, Gu Yuqiu?"

No, I'm serious.

Gu Yuqiu's tone was completely flat, indifferent.

"Then how could you say such a thing?"

Lin Mushi stared at her expressionlessly, and said softly, "Do you know what I want to do right now?"

Gu Yuqiu had no experience in this area and said, "Shall we get up and leave?"

"no."

Lin Mushi was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "I want to slap you right now to wake you up and make you realize what you've said."

Gu Yuqiu was stunned for a moment, wondering if she had just been slapped again.

Lin Mushi put down her teacup, smiled, and said, "Then... I'll take you to the hospital, get an appointment with a psychiatrist, and let the doctor see what's wrong with you."

Gu Yuqiu asked, "What if I'm not sick?"

Lin Mushi's smile grew even gentler as she said earnestly, "Then I'll let you know that you're actually sick."

Chapter 117: Chapter 115 Prenuptial Agreement and Hospitality

Gu Yuqiu sighed, looked at her with pity, and said, "But you can't beat me."

Lin Mushi fell silent.

Her memory was still pretty good, and of course she wouldn't forget that half a month ago, she was easily defeated by Gu Yuqiu in various ways, without any chance to fight back.

Even though she has now entered the third stage, and the world she sees is completely different from before, many times more powerful, even that saint from the Divine Will Walker could not kill her with a single glance...

But she still lacked the confidence to defeat Gu Yuqiu.

This was an intuition that became more real than before, as she grew stronger.

The question is, what does this have to do with whether she can beat Gu Yuqiu?

She looked at Gu Yuqiu and suddenly said sorry.

"sorry?"

Gu Yuqiu raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "What are you apologizing for?"

Lin Mushi turned around, looked at her reflection in the glass, and said, "I always thought you were a person with high emotional intelligence, who knew what to say and what not to say. I never imagined that all of this was just my idealization of you. Now I feel very sorry for myself."

When she said this, her expression was calm, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes, which made it all the more ironic.

Gu Yuqiu was somewhat surprised, then found it amusing and asked with a smile, "Are you being sarcastic?"

"How could I dare?"

Lin Mushi looked at her innocently and said, "After all, I can't beat you."

This denial is tantamount to an admission.

Gu Yuqiu remained silent.

"Ok?"

Lin Mushi stared into her eyes and said, "Why aren't you saying anything? Are you pretending to be mute?"

Gu Yuqiu wondered what was the point of saying anything at a time like this?

She stopped looking at Lin Mushi and slowly lowered her gaze to the girl's collar, whereupon a feeling of admiration arose in her heart.

"What are you looking at?" Lin Mushi's voice rang out.

"See how angry you are."

Gu Yuqiu didn't look away and casually said, "If you weren't angry, how could you say something like that..."

Lin Mushi interrupted him, asking, "You mean I'm throwing a tantrum and acting crazy with you?"

The moment she finished speaking, she calmed down completely, her eyes devoid of any emotion.

This is not because the anger has subsided, but because the anger had reached its peak, and the person became calm instead.

"This time doesn't count."

Gu Yuqiu looked up at her and said, "Also, you forgot something. We're sitting here talking to solve problems, not to argue."

Lin Mushi was silent for a moment, then asked seriously, "So, everything you said was true, including that sentence about me being just one of the people you like?"

"Yes."

Gu Yuqiu remained calm and composed, without any attempt to be tactful.

She thought for a moment and then said, "And you made a mistake in one of your statements, but it wasn't entirely wrong."

Lin Mushi frowned slightly, puzzled, and asked, "Which sentence?"

"Emotional intelligence".

Gu Yuqiu said, "From the first moment I met you, I have never considered anyone's feelings, whether it's you, Zhong Chongshan, or Lu Xiu. Why do you think I have high emotional intelligence?"

"This is probably an illusion you have because you know I can read minds, no matter who it is, but it's just your own idea."

Before Lin Mushi could speak, she continued, "Of course, anyone can hear what I want to hear if I want to."

“But you won’t do that,” Lin Mushi said softly.

You can interpret it as laziness.

Gu Yuqiu said, "I don't think there's anyone in this world worth me doing this for."

The words were true, even though her pride was amplified by the calmness of her tone, making her seem overly self-important, but that was the truth.

A person with the ability to read minds can certainly win the favor of anyone—provided that the person being flattered is unaware of her mind-reading ability.

Thinking about these things, Lin Mushi suddenly realized something and said, "You've never hidden anything from me... that you can read minds, why is that?"

Gu Yuqiu was somewhat surprised, not expecting her to ask this question. After thinking for a moment, she said, "It's probably because you're too stupid."

Lin Mushi didn't know what to say.

Before speaking, she considered many possible answers, each with its own unique characteristics. It could be arrogance, or it could be that they viewed her differently, or it could be carelessness.

However, the final explanation was simply foolish.

That's so stupid...

She rubbed her temples, feeling inexplicably annoyed and not wanting to continue the discussion. Instead, she asked, "So what's the next thing?"

Gu Yuqiu was quiet for a moment, then suddenly asked, "So you've accepted it?"

"What acceptance..."

Lin Mushi was slightly taken aback before realizing what she meant. Her expression turned cold as she said, "Don't even think about it."

What elicited such a strong reaction from her was, of course, the phrase—"I like you, but there are many others I like, and you are just one of them."

Gu Yuqiu nodded, saying noncommittally, "Then the next thing is something you've already experienced..."

Lin Mushi raised her hand, interrupting her again, and asked in confusion, "Have you noticed that the way we are right now looks a lot like... how should I put it, like we're signing a prenuptial agreement?"

The words fell.

A long period of silence.

Gu Yuqiu remained silent, staring blankly at Lin Mushi.

But the emotions in her eyes were extremely complex.

There was speechlessness, helplessness, emotion, appreciation, and an undeniable fondness.

Isn't the reason she treats Lin Mushi so specially because she likes his unconventional personality?

"Yes, it does look somewhat similar."

Gu Yuqiu snapped out of her daze, her tone softening considerably, and patiently said, "But this is very different from a prenuptial agreement; you should interpret this as a warning."

Hearing this, Lin Mushi was inexplicably happy and quickly nodded, saying, "Yes, please continue, I'm listening."

"idiot."

Gu Yuqiu cursed irritably, looking at her innocent, kitten-like eyes, and said, "You will encounter the same thing as yesterday."

Lin Mushi paused slightly, then, remembering Su Yan whom he had never seen again, nodded and said, "This is indeed a very serious problem."

Gu Yuqiu looked at her, knowing that she hadn't finished speaking.

"However... no matter how you look at it, she was in the wrong yesterday, at least not on my side."

Lin Mushi's smile faded, and she said firmly, "Then why should I be the one to back down?"

Gu Yuqiu was not moved at all and only said one sentence.

"Because you are weaker than her."

"...Is there anything else?"

"No need, this is enough."
